Pray For Rain

If you'd like to see the brilliant Sea The Stars compete in the Breeders' Cup Classic - pray for rain.

After viewing Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe trials held at Longchamp Sunday, trainer John Oxx is not worried about the potential competition that Sea The Stars may have to face in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. But, if the ground at Lonchamp comes up too soft, Sea The Stars will be pointed to either the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes or the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Here’s what Oxx said in Racingpost.com:

“If we miss the Arc we have to look at the two races that are left,” Oxx added. “Newmarket and Santa Anita, and the Classic rather than the Turf.

“The horse tells you what he wants to do and he’s been on the go since the Guineas, but if we missed the Arc we would have to seriously consider them.”
